    9992-ENC - Overview

    The Cobalt® 9992-ENC HEVC Upgradeable AVC / MPEG2 Software Defined Broadcast Encoder is an upgradeable broadcast-grade encoder designed to meet the most stringent requirements for today's broadcasters. Software-defined upgradeable to add multiple channels (up to four), the highly flexible 9992-ENC is also upgradeable to add HEVC video encoding technology that provides a dramatic compression efficiency improvement over previous video compression standards, while also supporting existing MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC. The 9992-ENC is an industry standard openGearr card and provide an ideal platform for transitioning to state-of-the-art encoding capabilities.

    • Features:

      • Future-Proof - The 9992-ENC software-defined architecture supports MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and HEVC (H.265) with an optional license, so it can be deployed today and upgraded as your needs change.
      • Industry Standard Form-Factor - The 9992-ENC is offered in the industry-standard openGear format, and is compatible with existing deployed openGear frames.
      • High Density - The 9992-ENC can be licensed to support up to four independent 1080p60 input signals, or a single UHD 4Kp60 input signal. One openGear frame can support up to 10 cards, for a total of 40 HD or 10 UHD 4K channels.
      • Full Audio Support - The 9992-ENC supports MPEG-1 Layer II, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, LPCM (SMPTE-302M) and Dolby AC-3/EAC-3 (optional license). Flexible "credits-based" audio processing allows flexible audio resource allocation.

      • Support for one encode channel up to 1080p60
      • Support for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC (H.264)
      • Support for 4:2:0 8-bit/10-bit encoding
      • Full ancillary data support
      • Support for 2 stereo pairs (4 audio channels) in any combination of MPEG-1 Layer II, AAC-LC, and HE-AAC (v1/v2) modes
      • All network protocols (RIST and SMPTE-2022 FEC available with corresponding Options)
      • Remote control/monitoring via Dashboard software
      • Hot-swappable
      • Supports all popular formats: 480i, 576i, 720p, 1080i, 1080pSF, 1080p

    • Specifications:

      • Inputs
      • (2) Ω SDI inputs each supporting 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI
      • (2) Ω SDI inputs each supporting 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI
      • Support for all standard frame rates (interlaced and progressive): 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, 60
      • Optional support for SMPTE-2110 baseband video over IP inputs (Future release availability)
        Note: Although two 12G/3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs are present, only one input can be used at a time to route to the maximum-available single UHD encoder engine.
        Note: UHD encode (single UHD/HD encoder) available only on 9992-ENC license-upgraded to +4K. In UHD mode, the other three HD encoder channels are not available.
